Rice Football Position Battles to Watch in Fall Camp: July 2024 Q&A

July 29, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice Football reports for fall camp this week. With the season approaching in earnest, this month’s Q&A focuses on what we’re watching for in camp.

After what felt like forever, Rice football is back on the grass this week. There are a lot of returning pieces, but not every section of the two deep is written in stone, far from it. This month’s Q&A focuses on some of those less certain areas and highlights which position groups will receive the most scrutiny over the next few weeks.

Q: Is it too early to talk about fall camp? Obviously wide receiver is up in the air without Luke [McCaffrey], but what other positions are you most interested in?

Rice Football 2024 Spring Practice Notebook 6: Wideout Roundup

April 10, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Wide receiver has been an interesting position to follow in Rice football spring practice. What have we learned from the relatively young room?

It’s been a spring of change for the Rice football wide receivers. Bobby Kennedy is the Owls’ only new position coach, taking over in the room for Mike Kershaw, who departed in the winter. Also on the way out is standout Luke McCaffrey, a likely NFL Draft selection in a few weeks. Where does that leave the rest of the room? In the midst of change lies an opportunity several have used to their advantage.

Rice Football 2024 Spring Practice Notebook 4: Halfway Point Observations

March 28, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football is halfway done with spring practices and things continue to go smoothly as the Owls’ experienced roster works to improve.

There’s been less Rice football 101 this spring as an experienced roster transitions from learning the basics to perfecting their craft. That’s been a theme throughout the last two and a half weeks of practices and something the coaching staff has noticed, much to their delight. This update hits on those signs of veteran experience while touching on a younger position group making big strides. As always, the entire archive of practice reports is available on our Patreon.

Rice Football: 10 Takeaways from 2023 Season

December 28, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2023 Rice football season was unpredictable and one-of-a-kind. What can we take away from the Owls’ six-win campaign?

A SERVPRO First Responder’s Bowl appearance marks the end of an eventful 2023 Rice Football season, filled with extremely high highs and some questionable lows. Ultimately, this year will be remembered most for that second-straight bowl appearance, but we learned a lot about this team and this program throughout the season.

Make sure you check out The Roosties, our take on an annual Rice football awards show from The Roost Podcast. There will also be Team Superlatives released throughout the next few weeks featuring more traditional awards like Team MVP, Offense and Defensive Player of the Year and more.
